Default The worst has happened : [
I crashed my z I was on my way to school entering the 170 south. I was going about 25mph tops when my car oversteared (cause of the rain) which caused me to go up a curve and crash into the guard rail. Here are some pics of the accident:

That's nothing, it looks like all you need is a new bumper.
Your just a little depressed over what happened, you'll be fine in no time.

check the tread on your rear tires... probably worse than you think they are.

A good proof of this is you spin out while shifting. if thats the case get new tires before you are really by the rain. and just get a bumper and call it a day bro.

well im running on summer tires. They're labled as dirreza dz101 but they're mislabeled tires. The actually thread, temperature and traction of the tires are the same as the dirreza sport z1 which is 200 tread AA traction and A temperature.

ya last night i saw like 4 or 5 other cars spin out. Rain was pretty bad. Like everyone is saying new bumper time. honestly doesnt look that bad for hitting a guard rail and such.

I got sideways a little too much.......Boost and Rain FTL.

Sorry to hear about your accident, but glad you're ok. Good luck with the repairs/upgrades.

If you need a shop recommendation, try Gran Prix Autobody in LA. They work with all major insurance companies: Scott 213.624.6700

Could it be because youre running some ridiculously stretched tires? those fronts look horrible, need pics of the rear but assume its the same.

at least you made it out all right
